LINE-HITCHING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,965, dated July 5,1887.

(X0 model.)

i'b aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be itknown that I, A. JOSEPH BROUILLARD, of Bristol, in the county of I-lartford and State of' Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement pertaining to Line- Hitching Devices, of which the followingis a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, where the figure is a View of the device embodying my improvement.

As the title of this improvement indicates, it is a line-hitching device.

The letter a denotes a base or frame on which the other operating parts are attached.

The letter 1) denotes a pulley, fixed or rotary, preferably the latter, grooved on its edge for ence of which may be desirable in some adjustments of the line. It will be readily understood that a pull upon either end of the line will have a tendency to pull one of the ec- 25 centrics 0 into closer relations with the pulley 1), thereby jamming the line between the eccentrio and the pulley, so that it will. be held tightly. The base or frame a is of course to be attached to some proper support, and all 0 parts, except the rope, are by preference metallic.

I claim as my improvement-- A combination of the grooved pulley b and i the duplicate eccentric pulleys c, all substan- 35 tially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

A. JOSEPH BRO UILIIARD.
